Chapter Six

Ian dozed but kept waking up after short bursts of sleep. He needed to see Kira cuddled next to him to convince himself she hadn’t been a perfect dream. Each time he awoke, he breathed in her sweet scent, thankful for his good fortune in winning the date and the chance to win Kira’s heart. With her by his side, he might be able to summon the courage to face his brother. And the life he’d left behind in Portland.

What were the odds his date would be the beautiful cocktail waitress who’d returned the voucher? He didn’t believe in coincidences. Did Madame Evangeline know Kira would be the one to convince me to face my past?

He had never imagined transitioning from successful businessman to down-on-his-luck gambler in a week. Maybe he had a little luck left in him. For all of his sins, though, he didn’t deserve such a blessing. But, deserve it or not, he had no intention of denying this woman anything she wished.

Facing him, she ground against his morning wood, a wicked, ready-for-another-fantasy grin plastered on her face.

“Mornin’, beautiful.” He stroked her hair.

“Good morning, Ian.” She stretched and the blanket shifted, exposing her collarbone, oh-so-kissable throat, and pert, naked breasts.

His cock responded to the sound of his name. Before they made love, he needed assurance that the end of the date didn’t mean the end of their relationship. He’d never been lucky at love before, but he was well acquainted with the fickleness of fortune.

Playing with a lock of hair curling around her breast, he said, “Let’s go to Red Rock Canyon this weekend. I hear it’s a great place to view the full moon.”

She stiffened, and the smile melted.

Not the response he’d expected. They hadn’t even had breakfast, and he couldn’t resist a desperate plea to see her again. He laced their fingers together and changed the subject. “Want something to eat? I’ll call for room service. We can get a full spread—waffles, bacon, eggs, and juice.” His stomach growled.

She wrenched away from him, her face frozen in an unreadable mask. Moving to the edge of the king-sized bed, she yanked the coverlet over her sexy curves.

With her ferocious appetite for sex, he hadn’t taken her for someone who hated breakfast. “Just coffee then? Or tea? Maybe they can send up one of those plastic bears filled with honey. I can drizzle it on you and have you for breakfast.”

She shook her head, her face turning the greenish yellow of a fading bruise.

Well, shit. Everything he’d told her about his responsibility in the death of his employee and his subsequent flight from his old life must have finally sunk in. What woman would want to stay with a coward who couldn’t face his problems? A broke gambler with a shady past, he couldn’t offer her much in terms of a future. She must see a hundred people a day who believed gambling would solve all of their problems. But he’d bet on her no matter what the odds.
